    You can once we’re independent. That would be after any vote

      Great. My grandfather was born in Scotland. Though he lived most of his life in England.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        Here's how the Barnet formula works. I have a one bed flat. You have a nine bed house. I earn £10 and give it to you. You tell me I'm only really due £1 back because of my bedroom share, but as a generous subsidising 'partner' you're going to give me £3 (Thanks BtW). Along with the £3 you also give me a bill for £20 for a 10% share of your new lawn mower, despite me not having a garden. This IS the reality of the Barnet Formula.

        Now, off you **** until you get a grip on the economic realities of your pixie dust and unicorn porn fantasies.

          My wife is a Jock .... I say we let them go independent, they gain entry into EU, then my good lady and I can go get the benefits of the EU again whilst little Englanders stew in their own bile

            You know that that is incorrect; don't you?

            I think that you should point us to your sources if you don't.

              I should probably address this point: I'm not a poster boy for the union. The Nationalists are simply devoid of reality based analysis that supports their proposition. I will continue to challenge their tub-thumping assertions until they stop lying to achieve their aims... in the same way that I would false Unionist claims.

                Kevin Hague, dog food salesman with his primary school graphs?

                He refuses to debate with proper economists.

                Lickspittles like you should really get off your knees.

                  Now I know that you're just trolling. You know that the Tartaniban have no answer to KH's economic analysis, so they default to name-calling. It would be pitiful if it were not so transparently desperate.

                  That the Nationalist side has nothing to counter the analysis provided by this "dog food salesman" should tell you all that you need to know about their case for independence.

                    Does it matter? The English, against all reason, experts and analysis voted to leave the EU.
                    Why not let the Scots rejoin, against the reason and analysis of other experts?

                    Or at least give them a non-binding referendum, then ignore the result if they vote to leave?

                      Putting Scotland’s deficit (according to GERS) in context and explaining why this nonsense happens

                      I know British Nationalists like you will rubbish Professor Richard Murphy’s blog so this isn’t aimed at you. This is so others can learn the truth.
